Waterguard Official Correspondence

 

 

         
 

 

A selection of copies of correspondence received and generated between 1934 and 1962 at the Maldon and Burnham on Crouch Waterguard offices - once held in SO Book 22A reproduced on the left - are reproduced below as PDF's.

    (The SO Book 22A was an early filing system in which copies of documents and letters were mounted with glue into the specially constructed spine of the book which consisted of narrow card pages. It had full size pages that formed an index set behind the narrow card pages.)
